OFFICE 1 SUPERSTORES BULGARIA CELEBRATES ITS TENTH ANNIVERSARY

19 June 2008

Over 2000 employees, franchisees and partners gathered the weekend of June 10th to celebrate the tenth anniversary of OFFICE 1 in Bulgaria. The party was held in the picturesque glades of Ilinden, near the first class ski resort of Pamporovo.
Guests were accommodated in various area hotels and received a gift pack including souvenirs labeled for the event. Anyone daring enough to climb the 1600 meters mountain was rewarded with unlimited supplies of food and wine to keep warm.
Entertainment included traditional Bulgarian folk music and singing, popular Bulgarian bands and various prize wining games for all those present. The heavy showers did not chase anyone away and the extemporaneous dance floor was well packed regardless of weather conditions.
With more than one hundred and fifty stores, a sophisticated network for servicing customers and numerous awards for excellence, Office 1 Bulgaria is the indisputable leader in the market. Let’s extend our best wishes for another ten years of continuing success.
